Anyone know of this front shutter projector? I photocopied this at a library from one of their books. It's using a carbon arc lamp & is sitting on what appears to be an RCA? soundhead.

I think this is one of the old flux capacitor DMC-12 models made by Strong, but I could be mistaken.
They were around in the early days of exhibition and made a mini-comeback around 1985.
The shutter spun at 88 MPH and was quite a site to see.

"Mathew is 38 & autistic. He wants this subject back on topic & underailed. I also ask whoever made him upset with a joke like that & whoever is taking sides with this person against him like that to apologize & immediately cease & desist against talking to him undeservedly like that. He cannot get onto the Film-Tech forums or any where else on Film-Tech because he was wrongfully banned from there.
Thank you Jon Bailey,mother of Mathew"

As we said years ago in college, "I'm calling shenanigans."

My younger brother is a high-functioning autistic and I'm familiar with the condition. mathewbailey08 didn't exhibit any of these characteristics. He recognized the humor/sarcasm and became mad. A tell-tale sign in virtually every autistic is the inability to recognize this type of humor. He did. A truly autistic person would have simply thought this was the truth and accepted it because they wouldn't have recognized the humor.

More likely, this was mathewbailey himself posting in an attempt to make us feel bad.

"Cease & Desist" - seriously? This is a forum, we have some fun, etc. If mathewbailey08 is autistic, then I'd suggest that as his parents you discuss with him that it was a joke, that this type of thing happens on public internet forums, and that it wasn't intended as anything harmful. Instead, you come here and yell at us for a fun-spirited Back to the Future post. If he's 38, it's time to be a parent instead of blaming all of us.
